Society of St. Vincent de Paul of San Mateo County
The county's St. Vincent de Paul council: homeless help centers, thrift stores and a family resource center.
Acerca de
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of San Mateo County is the county council of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the lay Catholic charity, and it serves working people on low incomes, people without homes and people who are incarcerated across San Mateo County. This directory record carries an older address, 134 North Claremont Street in San Mateo. The society's website now gives 50 North B Street in downtown San Mateo, so treat Claremont as the place it was listed and confirm the address before you visit. The phone number here, 650-343-4403, matches the help line on the society's site.
Feed, clothe, house, heal
The society sorts its work under four words. Feed covers its Homeless Help Centers. Clothe covers its thrift stores, which, like most charity thrift shops, usually sell donated clothing and housewares to raise money for the programs. House covers the Peninsula Family Resource Center. Heal covers Rosalie House, a restorative justice ministry, and youth and adult ministry. The thrift store page did not load on the day the site was checked, so store locations and hours are not confirmed here.
Asking for help or giving it
If you need help, start with the help line. Staff at agencies like this usually ask about your household, where you live and what kind of help you need, and may ask you to bring ID, a lease or utility bill and proof of income. If you are donating goods, ask which items the thrift stores take, since mattresses, cribs, large appliances and recalled products are commonly refused, and whether furniture pickup is offered. Would-be volunteers should ask about orientation, the time commitment and any background check required for work with youth or in jails.

From downtown San Mateo, near the Caltrain line, the society's programs reach Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Daly City and East Palo Alto, and its mission takes in the whole of San Mateo County.
Help line: 650-343-4403. The society's website also lists a main office number, 650-373-0622, for general business.
